Day 3) Today was playtime!! We got up and for the first time in weeks the weather was absolutely stonking, so we headed into town and spent the day playing in the park. There is a huge botanical gardens in the centre of the city which has a playground, a petting zoo, massive gardens, a tropical greenhouse and an aviary with loads of tropical birds. We had a really nice picnic and before we knew it we had spent all day in the park and enjoying all the different areas. We were really sad to leave Invercargill this afternoon because we'd had a great time here. But the road was calling us and we started the next section of the drive to Dunedin. This part of the drive was going to be quite long so we split the trip into two and stayed the night en-route in a lovely DoC campsite in the middle of the forest near a place called Owaka.
